This was the one voice missing from the global dialogue about the personal life of Tiger Woods over the past year, but it has oddly come about 10 months too late.

In any case, it’s still interesting to hear a different perspective. The reporter, Jude LaCava, touched on all the relevant topics from growing up with Tiger Woods, to the family’s relationship with him today to the more obvious issue of Tiger Woods’ personal life and golf game.

You don’t really learn anything new, but interesting tidbit that stuck out was when Earl Woods Jr. said his brother gets his controlling nature from his mother, Kultida.

Other highlights:

LaCava: What was your reaction [to the scandal] as his brother?

Woods: Probably the same as my dad’s would have been. It was stupid. Stupid. It’s not like him. I think he got caught up in being human and he made mistakes and unfortunately those mistakes are magnified by a hundred because he is who he is and he’s at where he’s at. I think my dad would be very disappointed with him. He would probably want to know how he’s going to fix it. If you’re grown enough to get into this mess, you know, how are you going to repair that.

LaCava: Did he learn anything through this ordeal?

Woods: You’d have to be a rock not to. America made him pay for what he has done and justifiably so. I think he learned and it cost him a lot. It cost him a family. He’ll never have the same relationship with his kids. I know that he loves Elin, but their future is what it is.

Earl Woods Jr. said his family doesn’t have much contact with Tiger Woods and I don’t imagine this interview is going to bridge the two any closer.
